[Year of the Rat, October 22, drizzle]
After reading "A Collection of Five Flavors", I also decided to record my daily life, so that in the future I, Jiang Yuebai, will become famous all over the world but my deeds will be passed down.
If you are not good at reading, remember it in plain language first, and then go back to polish and simplify it when you have a full knowledge of the classics.
The year and month are random, the name of Yun Kingdom doesn’t sound nice, and Wuweishanren didn’t write the year and month, which means it’s not a big deal.
I have started practicing the four parts of Yi Wood, Gui Water, Bing Fire and Wu Earth, and the progress is good.
That is, before you fully learn the five parts of the exercises, your cultivation level cannot be improved and you may fall behind.
My grandfather also gave me the remaining four spells all at once. There were more things to learn. Why are there only twelve hours in a day
Grandpa’s Quotes: He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened; he who overcomes others is powerful; he who overcomes himself is mighty!
[Year of the Rat, October 23, sunny]
Read books in the library and attend classes in the lecture hall.
Putting on a sack in the woods, continuing to practice in Huaxi Valley!
I am in a good mood today. I am boating on Shilipo and greeting the Lantern Monster.
Grandpa’s quote: Those who seek the best will get the middle, those who seek the middle will get the worst, and those who seek the worst will fail.
I decided that Lu Nanzhi is the goal I must surpass in the future!
[Year of the Rat, October 24, strong winds]
Lu Nanzhi broke through to the fourth level of Qi training last night. I think my grandfather is right. People should not aim too high and should keep their feet on the ground.
Now Xie Jingshan is my target. In the early spring of next year, I, Jiang Yuebai, will kill Xie Jingshan!
After reading too many miscellaneous collections, I feel a little dizzy and want to ride a horse to travel the world with a sword.
I will start memorizing "Collection of Herbs and Trees" and "Records of Strange Things" tomorrow, and I cannot stop practicing cloud seal script and tortoise shell script.
Drawing talismans is the cheapest and easiest to learn among the six arts of cultivation, and talismans are the source of all things. Once you enter the formation with talismans, it will be easier to learn other things later.
Grandpa's quote: Accumulation of soil makes a mountain, accumulation of water makes a sea.
[Year of the Rat, October 25th, sunny again]
Get started with "Gui Shui Gong" and begin practicing "Yun Yu Jue".
The key points of the five magic hand gestures are: the sharp edge technique is speed, the cloud and rain technique is softness, the red flame technique is fierceness, the earth-shaking technique is heaviness, and the grass and trees technique is stability.
Write it down so you don’t forget.
Practicing hand gestures in still water didn’t feel enough, so I added some mud and stirred it into slurry. It felt silky and had great resistance, and I seemed to be about to find the rhythm.
When Lu Ying saw me mixing mud, she told me not to be so selfish and to go and paste the gaps between the bricks on her wall.
Winter is coming, and the brick seams of the courtyard wall need to be pasted to prevent air leakage.
Senior Sister Song Peier praised me for my good paste making and gave me a basket of eggs laid by colorful pheasants so that I could give them to grandpa.
Grandpa’s quote: No reward without merit, no favor without virtue.
Note: I gave the eggs back.
[Year of the Rat, October 26th, still sunny]
I met Lin Sui Wan in class today. She told everyone that I was her maid, that I had dirty hands and feet, and that I was a runaway from a brothel.
Everyone was talking about me behind my back, but Lu Ying told me not to mind it. Even if they laughed at what they said, I wouldn’t lose any weight.
Instead of getting angry, I’d better practice hard. This will help Lin Suiwan more than anything else when we meet in the future and make him call me senior sister.
For the first time, I felt that Lu Ying was quite wise.
I'm not angry, I'm just upset that I forgot to bring the sack, so I must remember to bring it tomorrow.
But why didn't anyone come to check on me after I was put in the sack so many times? Did she not complain, or did no one care about her
It seems that her ancestor is far worse than my grandfather!
Grandpa was called by Jia Wei to work, and he had no time to eat and no quotations.
[October 27th, memorize lessons, practice calligraphy, put on sacks, kill lantern monsters]
[October 28th, memorize lessons, practice calligraphy, put on sacks, kill lantern monsters]
[October 29th, memorize lessons, practice calligraphy, kill lantern monsters, I want to eat scallion meat pie]
[Year of the Rat, October 30th, frost has begun]
The sack is torn, so I have to buy a new one. It seems that I have killed all the lantern monsters. Grandpa said it will take a few days for them to recover.
My Sharp Edge Technique has broken through the first level and entered the second level. The speed of completing the technique has increased from five breaths to four breaths. The sharpness is as solid as an embroidery needle, and its force can penetrate bricks and stones, and can last for three breaths.
I am still a long way from my grandfather's ability to achieve the state of a secret technique in one breath, with a sharp edge like a nail that can even penetrate magical weapons.
I calculated how to go from the second level to the third level. Now if I put all my effort into it, I can do it ten times a day. This would take a hundred days.
Based on this calculation, it might take a thousand days to go from the third floor to the fourth floor
As your cultivation level improves and the amount of spiritual energy increases, you must practice more times every day and shorten the time.
My grandfather said that magic spells basically cap at level five, and after reaching the peak of level two, each breakthrough will have another level that requires enlightenment.
Song Pei'er has not been able to break through the third level because she couldn't understand it.
I'm not worried about not being able to understand it. I'm just curious about what it would be like when I reach the fifth level of magic.
Grandpa said that it was too difficult and that it was just a low-level spell, and no one would bother to practice to the top level.
I want to try it.
Speaking of this, I find myself being targeted.
Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan would appear whenever Elder Li gave a lecture, and they would always stare at me.
I arrived early before class to read, and they also arrived early to read. After class, I stayed to reminisce, and they didn't leave. I went to the book collection academy, and they also went to the book collection academy. Whatever book I was reading, they would make rubbings of the same book.
He must be trying to find fault with me and suppress me. This is too much!
Now I just need to learn the basics of "Wu Earth Gong" and then I will be able to fully learn "Wu Xing Gui Zhen Gong". Then I will work hard to improve my cultivation.
I, Jiang Yuebai, am a brave man and I will not fight with a woman. Lu Nanzhi will let her go first. To scare the tiger with a show, I must put Xie Jingshan in a sack first!
Grandfather's Quotes: A gentleman's revenge is never too late, but a villain's revenge begins at dawn and ends at dusk (the second half of the sentence is crossed out)
Note: I am a villain, not a villain!
[Year of the Rat, November 1, cloudy]
Today, before Elder Li's class, Lin Suiwan instigated an outer sect disciple to bully a few of us female servants.
Lu Ying was injured while protecting me. Just as I was about to take action, Xie Jingshan used a fireball as big as his head to blow up the old tree in the lecture hall. The outer disciple wet his pants and Lin Suiwan fainted from fright.
I felt that I must have wronged Xie Jingshan before. He didn't target me. He was even punished to face the wall in Yinfengjian. I couldn't add insult to injury.
It’s better to wait until next spring before being beheaded on the spot.
Lu Ying also said that Xie Jingshan might have fallen in love with her, so he came to the rescue.
I think... as long as Lu Ying is happy.
I'm in a bad mood today, so I'm going to Shilipo to talk to the Lantern Monster.
Grandpa was called by Jia Wei to work again. There was no quotations, only coughing, coughing, coughing.
Note: When can I go to the fields to work and help grandpa share some of the work
[November 2, memorize lessons, practice calligraphy, put on sacks, kill lantern monsters]
[November 3, memorize lessons, practice calligraphy, put on sacks, kill lantern monsters]
[November 4th, reciting lessons, practicing calligraphy, the lantern monster is gone again, I want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus wine dumplings]
[Year of the Rat, November 5, strong wind]
There is good news today. Master Guquan and Uncle-Master Yu Qiuchi, who went to fight against Hanba, returned victoriously. The sect rang the bell to commend them, and the whole sect was filled with joy.
The restaurant also rewarded each of us menial disciples with a steamed bun, made from spiritual wheat flour and filled with monster meat. It was delicious!
Those monsters were hunted by Uncle Yu on the road. Uncle Yu is really a kind-hearted person with great martial arts skills.
I told my grandfather that I wanted to be like Uncle Yu in the future and kill all the demons in the world and benefit the people after I have achieved success in my cultivation.
Let the disaster that happened to my Jiangjia Village never happen again!
Grandpa’s Quotes: If you don’t climb a high mountain, you don’t know how high the sky is; if you don’t stand by a deep stream, you don’t know how thick the earth is.
Note: Today’s quote is a bit strange, I always feel like my grandfather is scolding me.
[Year of the Rat, November 6, Light Snow]
Yesterday we announced good news, today we announced the funeral, and only then did I understand what my grandfather meant by what he said yesterday.
There were five people in Uncle Master Yu's group, and Master Gu Quan was the leader. But in the end, only Uncle Master Yu and Master Gu Quan came back.
Master Guquan was seriously injured. He announced the good news yesterday because he was afraid of hurting the morale of the sect’s disciples. So he buried the dead disciples in the Meteorite Valley behind Yinfeng Gorge today.
I can't go to Meteorite Valley, so I can only go to Shilipu at night and burn some yellow paper for them to thank them for avenging my parents and brother.
If there is reincarnation in the underworld, I hope the heroic souls will return when spring is in full bloom.
In addition, I suddenly began to wonder, since it only took a dozen days to travel from Tianyan Sect to Lin'an County to kill Hanba, why did Hanba wreak havoc in Lin'an County for three years
Above Jindan Zhenren is Yuanying Zhenjun, why not send Yuanying Zhenjun to kill him? Why must the foundation-building disciples be sent to die
I asked my grandfather, and he just said that I was still young and had just started practicing Taoism, and that I would naturally understand once I had established a foundation.
Grandpa’s quote: The ignorant are fearless, and the lawless are lawless.
Note: Is the law here the law of the world of cultivation or the law of heaven
[Year of the Rat, November 7, heavy snow]
The temperature dropped suddenly in the middle of the night. It was too cold to meditate and practice. It felt as if the negative energy of a ghost lantern was rushing into my body.
The snow was particularly heavy and came earlier than in previous years.
I have learned all five techniques, but the circulation of the Great Circulation is still not smooth.
After class yesterday, I consulted Elder Li, and I have already understood 80% of the Five Elements Rotation. Elder Li told me to try to build a Five Elements Rotation Bridge in a place with abundant spiritual energy.
Because this is enlightenment, the first time you comprehend it you will be blessed by heaven, and a large amount of spiritual energy will enter your body, causing your cultivation to soar.
My grandfather also said that the first time the "Five Elements Return to Truth" was connected to the Great Circulation, it would consume a large amount of the five elements' spiritual energy. He said he would take me to a training room for seclusion, and the rental fee would be three low-grade spirit stones a day.
One low-grade spirit stone can buy three meals of meat and vegetables in a restaurant, and buy ten kilograms of spirit rice for twenty days.
Grandpa must be crazy, I won’t go to the practice room!
There are no quotations today. I don’t want to listen to them. It’s just like a turtle chanting sutras.

The practice room is so comfortable~
